WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE FALL?

September 12th, 2018

Labor Day may be the unofficial start to fall but we all have things that we associate with the true beginning no matter where we live – school starting up, football season, cooler weather, and of course, pumpkin spice. The weather doesn’t really get much colder for weeks to come but we eagerly look forward regardless to the start of sweater weather.

Because fall is perceived as a transitional season, it may be the perfect time to recharge your marketing campaign with some new topics. Here are 5 popular activities to highlight.

#1 Football and Tailgating: Being the Best Takes Planning

You can focus on any fall sports activity but for many people, fall means football. A whopping 74% of American consumers follow professional football regularly. With that kind of attention it’s easy to create a football themed event: football games, rallies to support school, local or professional teams, football watching parties, tailgating . . . you get the picture.

A valuable part of the strategy is the role promotional products will play on game day – your brand getting seen by the multitudes of fans.

Corporate Outings

Plan company outings to see games or an outing to a sports bar when the local team is playing and bring products to celebrate and commemorate the fun day. Host a party during fantasy football league drafts and offer prizes (branded, of course) for whoever has the best performing fantasy football team at the end of the season.

Before the Game

Many people consider tailgating their favorite part of game day. Sporting the ideal and buzzworthy tailgating setup garners admiration and respect from the less prepared in a fun way that can also include showing off your brand.

Part of your game-winning strategy should include having the perfect gear and savory food. Portable games like corn hole and ring toss for entertainment will excite attention and envy from passersby while the sight of your friends relaxing on inflatable loungers and the scent of grilled meat wafting past as they watch uncomfortably from the tailgate of their trucks will prove your tailgating superiority.

Capitalize on the excitement fueled by sports events to maximize brand exposure at company outings, school rallies or pre-game tailgating activities.

Take advantage of the many outdoor fairs, festivals and activities that come with temperatures and humidity starting to drop. This might be the year to plan a corporate outing to the state fair. With staff members all wearing promotional t-shirts or polos, your brand will get plenty of visibility while everyone enjoys the midway games, rides and displays. Remember when planning what to provide for an event – bags get more impressions than any other promotional item.

Family Time

Apple picking, hay rides, and trips to pumpkin patches and haunted walks have a family-oriented optic that make for appealing imagery and easy gifting. A field trip to a corn maze could be a fun corporate team building activity that gets everyone outside in a low stress way.

Take a Hike

With fewer vacationers and insect pests and lower humidity, hiking trails offer a more remote wilderness feel and the onset of cooler weather makes them a pleasure to explore. Put a focus on company wellness with an outdoor scavenger hunt, disc golf tournament or group mileage challenge (walk the same number of miles as the year the company started, for example).

Help Out

Charity walks are frequently scheduled in the fall since fewer people are on vacation and college students are back at school and eager to get involved. Sponsor a team at a local 5k run (or the whole event), volunteer with the organizer or simply go and cheer them on.

After months of being on-the-go for as long as the sun was shining, it’s nice to ease into shorter days and longer nights by sitting outside next to a firepit or wrapped up on the couch in a fleecy blanket watching movies with popcorn.

A fun company outing might involve a bonfire ands’mores at a local park or camp. Hot mulled cider, Octoberfest craft brews and apple and pumpkin based cocktails complete the relaxation.

The mercurial nature of fall weather makes dressing in layers a must. Since the temperature can be downright frosty while waiting for the school bus and sweltering by afternoon, layers are an absolute must to avoid either massive discomfort or multiple clothing changes.

Apparel gets your message seen by more people and in more places than you can imagine. 85% remember the name of the company that gave them a shirt or hat.

Fall inspires us to plan more meals with comfort foods and invite friends over for a convivial dinner – and maybe a pumpkin spice latte afterwards. Fewer salads show up on dinner tables and more root vegetables, casseroles and apple dishes take their place. We use the oven with increasing frequency and the grill less.

Imagine leaning against your friend’s kitchen island watching them prep dinner while you sip wine and eat appetizers (my idea of a good time). The kitchen is the heart of the home and the popularity of subscription meal kits means many are cooking more now than they ever have in the past.

Alternatively, plan a fancy picnic supper to celebrate the fall colors and flavors or a corporate team building activity where everyone learns how to cook a gourmet meal or make desserts with a chef.
